Few things:
1) Small, but I'd personally give Condon a 1-year deal instead of two. Any kind of term for a backup is generally a poor idea.

2) On a bigger topic, what do you do with Hammond? He still has a year left on his contract, and there's already two goalies in the AHL (Driedger and O'Connor) and a potential third in Hogberg. It's Hogberg's decision on whether he'll want to come to North America, and it wouldn't be appealing if he'd have to share games with THREE other goalies. So either you keep Hammond as an NHL backup and leave Condon to free agency, or work up a couple trades with Hammond and either one of Driedger or O'Connor.

3) Top two forward lines look good. Looking at WOWY stats, I'd personally switch Ryan and Stone, but these have been working as of recent.

4) What to do with Zack Smith... I'd personally keep him for his versatility and depth purposes, and that's a very reasonable contract (personally I'd go $2.5 mill. for 2 years, but again, that's subjective). But if you think Brown and White will be ready next year, then there may not be room. This segues into my next point...

5) White and Brown will most likely NOT be ready for the NHL next year. White will be eligible for the AHL, and he hasn't been lighting it up in the NCAA as much as he was last year. I'm not suggesting he's a bust, but the projection of a top six player might be a bit high. As for Brown, he's scoring everything on the powerplay, so there's no way I'd trust him with third line 5v5 ice time in the NHL as a teenager. Playing him next year would surely be rushing him, and I want him to round out his offensive skills before he starts seeing NHL ice time.

6) That seems quite high for Pyatt. His possession numbers have been a black hole, and his offense has been dry since his quick start. He's still a fringe NHL-er, and would be easily replaceable in the free agency bargain bin.

7) Neil's probably going to retire after this season, just so you know.

8) This makes our bottom six a combination of Smith, Lazar, Pageau (who deserves more than fourth line ice time), and then three spots available. A few potential suitors for one of those spots could within the organization could be Casey Bailey, Francis Perron, Max McCormick, or even Nick Paul if he can step up his game.

9) Moving onto the defense, you need to remember the importance of which side each defenseman plays on. In case you didn't know, Chabot plays on the left side, which pushes Boro off the depth chart. Not that Boro's playing badly (he's actually been alright recently), but comparing him to the other six, he just doesn't square up. I agree that Chabot should get consistent NHL ice time next year, but you have to think of who loses a spot in return. Speaking of losing a spot...

10) Finally, expansion. There's so many scenarios, so here's a list of possible players selected by Vegas (in no particular order): Bobby Ryan, Zack Smith, Curtis Lazar, Marc Methot, Cody Ceci, Chris Wideman. That's a lot of options, and will heavily impact the roster next season.
